Dyslexia is a misnomer, kind of a negative missile catapulted at what some would consider a problem. Sort of like red hair, it depends upon your point of view if it a problem or not. I have always envied red hair, especially fine clear red hair that morphs into shiny white blonde in the summer sun. Dyslexic manifestations can be good like that too: sometimes a preference for action over talk; often a quick perception of what's really going on, and an equally quick announcement to folks not ready to hear about it. Or in less dramatic circumstances, a lack of awareness of spelling protocols. A really useful characteristic attributed to dyslexia is the ability to read upside down and backwards. Or to write that way.

This blogging software kept telling me my chosen words were taken (YA, I had just taken them). So now I am mining my natural dyslexia, (or is it aixelsyd?), to round up a few dozen new terms for my own personal use. Not sure it should be called DYS anything. How about THIRD EYE. That is what it feels like. Right?
